Chapter 2 - No one can change the future

"Fluffy, because of you grandma always scolds me," Serefina rubbed Fluffy's snowy fur.

Serefina and grandma Hannah arrived at their house late. According to grandma Hannah, people were important than themselves.

Grandma Hannah tugged Serefina in the giant canopied bed filled with stuff toys. Even though Serefina felt a little embarrassed when her friends came to her house. But without them she couldn't sleep and had nightmares like rain.

"Grandma I've been thinking....." she started but couldn't continue.

"I know what you're trying to say, Serefi," grandma was like a magician. She could predict what Serefina was saying. "You want to know about the time crystals. Don't you?"

"No... actually...I-I wanna know about my...mom," she explained. Serefina didn't know why exactly she was asking it after seven years.

Grandma Hannah turned pale. "Why are you asking about...her now? After seven years of her disappearance?"

"I don't know. But if you don't want to-"

"No...I was just... never mind. Your mother was a girl like you, always asking questions about time crystals. One day she asked me how to change the future. I wasn't suprised. Knowing new things were her favourite. Grandma Hannah rushed to her room in front of Serefina's.

After sometime grandma Hannah brought a time crystal.

"Grandma, which one is this?" Serefina said looking first time at a time crystal. Grandma Hannah never allowed Serefina to touch them or go near them and now she had brought a time crystal in front of her.

"It's the past crystal. Your mother was eight. It kinda went like this."

...Into the time crystal...

"To change the future you should use the future crystal ball. First you say the time and date of the incidence you have to change in future. The crystal ball will let you in. But..." said a beautiful youg lady with rosy cheeks and dark brown hair.

"But what?" said a little girl with blonde hair like Serefina, sitting beside the beautiful lady.

"But it's very dangerous."

"Why mom?"

"Pasts can be changed but not future. No one can change the future. Only the true heir of Time Crystalia can change the future."

"Time Crystalia?"

"The kingdom inside the time crystals."

The girl's mom adjusted herself in the bed. "Diana, promise me. You won't ever try to change the future."

"I promise."

"Good. Now you should sleep."

The lady tugged Diana in her bed when the girl fell asleep.

A tear stumbled down from grandma Hannah's cheeks.

"The lady was you. Right?" Serefina asked, mesmerized by what she saw.

"Yes, that was me," grandma Hannah replied.

"You were so preety."

"Thank you, Serefi. But now you should sleep."

Grandma Hannah was just going to exit the room when Serefina called, "Grandma won't you be asking me to make a promise to not try to change the future?"

"I told your mom to promise me and she didn't kept it...have a good night."

(I was adding a picture but it was too big and annoying.)
